I really like Emma for a second baby (Not even conceived yet but day dreaming) I also like the NNs Em and Emmie. However is it a 90s? When I was growing up every class has 2 Emma’s but I haven’t heard it for new babies in ages!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

It's my name and I love it!!! I was born in 1985 and yes there were two in my class, but oddly I've never met another as an adult. It's a classic, please use it!

I don’t think of 90s, I’m 43 and in my class at school there were 7 girls called Emma ( poor teachers!) to me it’s a 70s name because that’s when they were all born. I don’t think it sounds old fashioned, but I don’t think it’s very exciting

Not at all old fashioned, I fact it's been one of the most popular baby names over the past 15 years.
I think it's a pretty classic name that will stand the test of time. I like that Emma can be any kind of person, it's hard to pigeon-hole someone with the name Emma.

Agree that it is classic rather than old fashioned.
